Resident Evil 7 is now available worldwide, and recent statistics indicate that the popular horror game’s success is particularly being recognised in the UK.

As we approach the one week anniversary of Resident Evil 7‘s launch, new statistics revealed online indicate that the latest iteration in the long-running horror franchise shows a return to form for the series.

This news comes courtesy of GfK Chart-Track which announced that Resident Evil 7 comes in at an impressive third place when it comes to a succesful week one launch in the franchise. Currently Resident Evil 5 still holds the top spot, due in part to the game being the first in the series to launch on a Microsoft platform.
